Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so glad the lab is helpful! See-sense~ma to Tim's doctor.

Our wings are not tired

I hope his doctor apologizes for giving him a hard time.

Sadly I find this unlikely.

Yeah, I can't imagine the doctor apologizing. The best-case outcome I'm hoping for is him saying, okay, we'll order a methylphenidate assay for you. And then following through.

I also really hope he hasn't stopped prescribing Ritalin to other patients because he fucked up and ordered the wrong test.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The way our school district works is that, as an Autism Spectrum Paraprofessional, I am guaranteed a position, but what school and what program changes based on need. We find out this week where we assigned and I have been checking my email every, um, two minutes all day.

I asked to go back to the Transitions program for adults 18-26 I worked at last fall and loved, so keep your fingers crossed. I could end up with preschoolers, or as a one-on-one or who knows.

Got my assignment. As I suspected, preschoolers. Not that I don't love preschoolers, but it's LOTS more chasing kiddos and wiping butts than in higher grades which is why those with more seniority tend to avoid it. Still better than doing HR, though.

Ooh, yikes, Scrappy. I hope you find some joy in it, and maybe next year get to go back to other things?

Well, each year I gain seniority and am more likely to get an assignment I want, so you never know.

Good news: Tim's doctor talked to the lab people, and he ordered a drug test just for methylphenidate that's separate from the bigger drug screen. I think he's going on Monday to take it, and everything should be copacetic.

Phew!
